This is all about power and money...we have it and they want it. Obama will deliver them the power and money they want by weakening our country.
Let's all sit down and get serious for a couple of minutes. Why does the world want a weaker America again? Who does that benefit? Is somebody going to invade us? Because I can guarantee you that would be dumb for any nation to do, can you imagine the supply lines they'd have to maintain? Thousands of miles of ocean to cross. Unless we're talking about Mexico or Canada invading, but don't make me laugh!

Since a weakened U.S. economy affects the world I can't really see how anyone would want us to stop buying things, since any economic depression could easily bring other nations down with us! Read a history book, the great depression wasn't a bad time for only America.

So tell me one more time why the world wants a weakened America and try real hard not to use one of the arguments that I rebutted unless you have some clever counter argument based on evidence, or even intelligence instead of a bias against Obama.

Your obvious opinion of America aligns you with those who wish to see us weakened. Congradulations !! You are an official Leftist.
The evidence of what I claim is in the actions of the Europeans over the past 20+ years.

Go figure, maybe they feel he'd be a good diplomat.
Just a hunch.

Even Italy, which is predominantly white and with a strong Catholic base prefers Obama. Sadly, I think race is an issue in our so called "great country" yet too many narrow minds vote based on color. How sad.

For those that do base this on color, I'm as white as a person can be, if that helps in anyway.
The countries most optimistic that an Obama presidency would improve relations are America's NATO allies – Canada (69%), France (62%), Germany (61%), United Kingdom (54%), Italy (64%)

Well those of us who have to pay for Obama are having second thoughts.

Oops, I guess I sort of incriminated myself with that one. Well I suppose there is no more denying it to anybody even myself.

So listen up everybody I got a big announcement. I'm liberal!!! But wait that's not right... Let me put it this way, I certainly lean to the left on many issues, health care, human rights, and big government, but also lean more conservative on other issues; gun control, anti-welfare, etc.

So it would more accurate to congratulate me on being a leftist with a big right hand.

I believe money falls under my second argument.

Let me put it this way real quick, and don't think I'm trying to dumb it down so you understand, because I'm not...

Weak America=Less going out of America
Less money going out of America=Less money going into other countries.

So the argument is completely backwards. Other countries want a strong America that spends lots of money on foreign exports.

Since when did the world do what was in our best interests? Everyone should give an Automatic vote for McCain b/c of this.
